Very disappointing product from a respected maker
Waited excitedly for weeks for this product and was so dismayed when I unpacked it, I immediately repacked it and sold it on ebay (couldn't rtn it).It felt extremely cheap for the price with its silver plastic finish, and can hardly be called pocket sized. It amazes me that personal DABs from Pure have to be so big - enormous compared to an iPod. I cant comment on the performance as I never started it up, but one of the issues with DAB is that the signal can fall out suddenly unlike analogue which gradually fails. I am not surprised if Pure have discontinued this disappointing product as it muddies up the rest of their otherwise excellent range. I may consider the replacement to this if they can make it smaller

Every feature but the most important one
I was pretty excited when I bought this to replace my previous pocket DAB. This was a mistake. Despite being packed with all sorts of exciting features I haven't been able to use any of them because of the reception which is apalling.It can't be because the reception is bad in my area. My previous radio provided excellent reception 90% of the time, this one is more like 15%.It doesn't like moving which is a real problem for a pocket radio. You can have a clear signal for a minute then turn in another direction and it burbles and often goes dead.Recording would be fine if I could get a decent signal for long enough to record, but are you going to want to listen to ten seconds of music followed by thirty seconds of static.?You really need to test this before you buy it, though that might be difficult. I've tried four sets of headphones ranging from cheapo to expensive and none of them produces a stable signal for long.The question is why could my previous unit, cheaper produce great reception whilst this which should be by far the best on the market struggles?

Good quality in build and sound
I have had this for two months now and love it. It is a personal radio, which uses ear phones (supplied) with an inline volume control. The quality of sound is good and I enjoy both music and the spoken word programmes. The EQ adjustments make listening a treat.The radio was easy to set up and the prospect of future upgrades via the internet is also appealing.One small draw back is that the earphones are also the aerial, so reception depends upon the position of the wire. But I have had only a little "burbling" and it is easy to correct. The rechargable batteries (supplied) do not last very long before needing another recharge, but they are a bonus. As is the SD card which is supplied (albeit only a small capacity one). This memory card effectively turns the radio into an MP3 player, which I think is great as I did not have one , and appreciate having the two products in one as I travel a lot! I transfer MP3s from my PC and play them through the radio. And,of course, one can record radio programmes!The Pure Dab 200 is sturdy and well-built. It is easy to operate and, though I would have loved it to be £50 cheaper, I still think that, because it is such good quality, it represents good value.

Thoughts on Pure's Pocket Dab 2000
I have found the PocketDab 2000 a handy way to receive DAB radio when on the move especially for the BBC World service as it is not available on FM. Reception is very good in London including on the train apart from tunnels and good at home. The ability to record live DAB radio as an MP2 file to an SD card is great. The radio displays the full DAB text message in small multiple lines without you having to wait for the full message to scroll across in single line mode as with most DAB radios. FM reception is not brilliant but I knew this before purchasing the radio. The MP3 capabilities are basic, no colour screen or support for ID tag ver 2 but it works well and I use the MP3 function regularly.My only cripe is the rechargeable battery life. Pure quote 10 hours but I only get about 6-7 hours. Pure's support desk have been helpful in sending me replacement batteries and a charger but basically the battery life is still short. I also got a replacement set of superior Sennheiser earphones when the bundled pair exhibited a loose connection.The radio is a little bulky and will not appeal to all but overall I feel it is a good product if a little pricy from some outlets.

Shoddy, considering the price
I've had my DAB 2000 for about a year now: the battery compartment cover falls off, the mains input/battery charger doesn't work anymore and the earphone jack socket keeps cutting out. For the price, the finish can only be described as shoddy. I have two other Pure DAB products, and the pocket radio just doesn't live up to the otherwise high Pure standards.
